Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 308 m² the property is well over the postcode median (154 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 46% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
